In Peru, approximately 237.5 thousand tons of PET plastic are manufactured per year. Often 50% of it is single-use; while only 22% is recycled in the civil and textile industry. In 2020, the Ministry of Production and the Ministry of the Environment approved the circular economy roadmap where one of its main objectives is to promote the use of reusable waste, although industrial companies have activities in favor of the environment, such as segregating and disposing of solid waste, these are based on a linear economy. In this sense, the present research work aims to solve the problem that companies currently have to value reusable waste to align with the circular economy roadmap. To identify the solution to the problem, we have used the design thinking methodology, where it has been identified as a minimum viable product, a collection service for PET waste from industrial companies, and transformation of the RPET into fabric for the sale of uniforms for its employees, which will allow them to follow the circular economy approach. Under this approach, the present work develops the Kawsay project that will offer the proposed service with a Net Present Value (NPV) of 1.5 million soles and an internal rate of return (IRR) of 96% in a projection of the first five years of operation and with a recovery period of approximately two years. Likewise, for the implementation of the project and the first year of operation, an investment of 230 thousand soles will be needed from the partners and a bank loan of 140 thousand soles. The financial analysis carried out supports the economic feasibility of this project, which demonstrates a profitable service and supports the participating companies on a path to achieving the circular economy.
